The Beast And The Merchant

"Are you saying you will defeat Ogre?" Lena asked Rin as she stared at him incredulously. He should know that such words were not to be joked with.

He was still a newbie and if he forced himself into thinking he could handle formidable enemies easily, then he was making his death bed without his knowing.

She wanted to laugh but she stifled the laughter she had been holding.

Maybe Rin was that way, adventurous and maybe powerful as he claimed and behaved to be.

A glance at him was enough to tell her that Run was not joking.

Such bravado was always met with something very big. A very big price to pay.

But with the look on his face, it seemed he didn't even kind. It seemed he was ready to carry the whole mission on himself.

There was only one person whom she had met and he was like Rin. Sadly, he died after one of the operations.

And Lena didn't wish such would happen to Rin. She now felt a particular connection to Rin.
